From the curb, this home looks like a modest cottage in the Fort Worth neighborhood of Chamberlain Arlington Heights. At first, I looked at this home and wondered to myself, “For more than $500,000, where is the rest of the house?”
Well, let me tell you that there’s plenty of house at 5332 El Campo Ave.
Though this home was originally built in 1926, there have been significant additions that have brought the home’s total square footage to 2,745 square feet. That includes a garage conversion as well as a second story in the back, which even has a balcony overlooking the backyard.
Yes, this home could use some polish. The virtual staging helps envision what could be in this space, but all of the tools are there.
The home is a semi-open concept from the front door, with a living area just inside bordered by an office, which can be enclosed with French doors.
The hardwood floors, built-in shelving, fireplace, and wide moldings all help bring the 1920s character through to the surface, but the modern kitchen offers plenty of appeal.
There are a total of four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths in this Fort Worth home, with the primary bedroom suite downstairs. It’s been remodeled with a fun primary bath and a custom closet system.
You may want to make some tweaks to this home, but what you can’t change is the location, which is stellar.
Chamberlain Arlington Heights is a sought-after neighborhood for families with access to top-performing Fort Worth ISD schools such as M.L. Phillips Elementary School, Monnig Middle School, and Arlington Heights High School. You’ve got easy access to Interstate 30 but you’re not so close that it’s a problem. Plus, you’ve got all the shopping you can stand right on Camp Bowie Blvd.
See the potential?
